Does anyone read Kafka anymore? I doubt that high school and college students take him up as faithfully as we once did, but the bureaucratic tyrants running the Department of Education in the Obama administration appear to have drawn on Kafka’s Trial as a how-to manual rather than a modernist warning of a nightmarish future.

 

The book opens: “Someone must have been telling lies about Josef K., he knew he had done nothing wrong but, one morning, he was arrested.”

As it turns out, Josef K. has nothing on Laura K. FIRE’s Aaron Reese and Chris Maltby take up Laura K.’s case in “Laura Kipnis’s Title IX inquisition at Northwestern.” They write:

 

When Northwestern University professor Laura Kipnis published “Sexual Paranoia Strikes Academe” in The Chronicle of Higher Education in February 2015, she didn’t expect she’d become the target of a Title IX investigation as a result.

Laura K. tells the story of her Title IX inquisition in the video below.
